General discussion

In what ways has compliance made your organization stronger?

Many organizations make the mistake of considering compliance to regulations such as Sabanes-0xley or HIPAA as a "get it over with" proposition. Others use the changes they've implemented to make their businesses more competitive. What has been your organization's experience?

A TechREpublic Poll Would Be Interesting

I would be curious as to how many people feel that compliance has made their organization strogner, versus weaker, versus neutral affect. I can't personally speak to Sarbanes-Oxley, but I have a dim view of other compliance certificates such as CMM/CMMI.

Compliance makes for better PR

We, Data Decimation, have several large national clients who have used our certified data destruction service in order to promote their brand. Data Decimation offers data and media destruction performed in a federal government facility with destruction certification issued directly by a DOJ division. This is the highest evidence of compliance available. Our clients use this 'highest level of complaince available' to let their existing and potential customers know how sensitive they are to data security issues. They use this as both brand promotion and brand insurance. For more information on our service, you can visit our website at www.datadecimation.com

Added ownership within business streams

Compliance has meant that business now understand its their responsibility to operate controls and operate them effectively. What started as ''This is what we have to do to be compliant'' has now been deeply embedded into day-to-day activities.

Very Expensive

We certainly have lots more documentation, rules, regulations, procedures, committees, etc. I can't really say that all the time and money spent has made us a better organization, and in some cases, compliance issues have siphoned off resources that might have been better spent providing services to our disabled/elderly clients. We're a small non-profit yet we're covered under the same HIPAA standards as huge insurance companies and HMO's. It's waaaay overkill for us.
